can you put a supercharger kit from an older model mustang onto a newer one?

Don't bother. If it were feasible, people would be doing it. The amount of custom work would probably make your head spin.

Companies like Vortech, KB, Whipple, Procharger, etc. spend a lot of time and money to make kits for particular cars. The S197 is no different.

Sometimes it's just best to leave some things to the experts.

yeah, i kinda figured that haha

It could be done with a lot of intake fabrication.

I already have

was it hard? expensive? did you get good results?

You would need to fab brackets, possibly a pulley or two to route the belt properly, get a custom belt, and then do a custom intake pipe (or buy it all from Vortech). Then you would still need a tune, probably need new injectors, new plugs, something with fuel (BAP or GT500 pumps), and in the end I bet you would be over the $3800 it would cost for a kit that bolts in in about 10 hours with minimal skills. If there was an intercooler involved, you would also have piping to it, and all that and still go over the ~$5500 it costs for an intercooled kit.

And I would never try to adapt a positive displacement from an older model.. the manifold would have to be fabricated, and that is a can of worms I would pay good money to avoid.
